Because of her injury, Cheng Mingran has been forced by Ji Lingzhou to rest these days. She is almost sick from being idle.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother and Cheng Li often came to accompany her, otherwise she would have been moldy. The news that she blocked the sword for Ji Lingzhou this time was already known to everyone, not to mention that the Cheng family had returned to its original position. Anyone with a little bit of insight would know that this was a comeback.
Therefore, many concubines actually wanted to curry favor with him. As for those who had offended Cheng Mingran in the past, they were now thinking about how to apologize.
But no matter what these people thought, they couldn't see Cheng Mingran now, because Ji Lingzhou rejected all those who wanted to please Cheng Mingran in the harem, saying that Cheng Mingran needed to recuperate from her injuries.
Cheng Mingran had no objection to these things, because she was unwilling to receive and flatter these people.
But today, something happened that alarmed the entire harem. It was an imperial edict from Ji Lingzhou.
------
The emperor was sent to heaven to carry the order, and the edict said:
Concubine Cheng Shi is virtuous, dignified, and of high character. She stepped forward in times of crisis and saved the emperor. I am very pleased. I grant Concubine Cheng the title of "Yuan" to honor her virtue. I hope Concubine Cheng Shi will continue to uphold this heart, assist me, and rule the world together.
Admire this!
Written by the Emperor, the Emperor is very pleased
The most important thing is the title that Ji Lingzhou gave me - Yuan. This title cannot be used casually...
Fengqi Palace
When Qinghe heard the news, she ran towards the queen angrily.
The queen looked at her angry face and asked: "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"Empress, I feel it's not worth it for you. What about Concubine Shu? Is she treated so well just because she blocked a sword for Your Majesty? She was even given the title of "Yuan". Doesn't Your Majesty know what this word means?" Qinghe said.
Chi Yue didn't react that much when she heard this.
"I almost lost my life, do you think I should be treated well?" Chi Yue replied, as if she didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"Having said that, this was her own choice. Otherwise you would force her to stop it. Besides, isn't the title Yuan too against the rules?" Qinghe said.
"Who told you to say these things? Don't you know that you should be careful when speaking in the palace? If someone with ulterior motives hears it, I can't help you." Chi Yue stirred the medicine in the bowl nonchalantly.
Qinghe was unhappy: "Your Majesty is too kind and merciful. Not only did she donate such precious medicine, but she also ended up in such a situation. It's been such a long time since Shufei woke up, and she didn't come to thank Your Majesty." Qinghe also felt that this matter was not worth it.
"It's just a small matter. Besides, how do you know that I've lost money in this matter?" The queen didn't care.
"That's right. The queen only has one pill of medicine left, and now it's given to the concubine. It's not worth it. And..." Qinghe secretly complained in her heart that it would be better to let the concubine die, so that no one would come to compete with the queen for favor and monopolize His Majesty.
Chi Yue frowned: "Enough, you are getting more and more outrageous, kneel down!" Chi Yue put down the bowl of medicine in her hand.
Qing He knelt down indignantly, but his face still showed obvious unwillingness.
"My queen..." she called out.
"Slap!" Chi Yue was indeed angry.
Although Qinghe was somewhat reluctant, he did not dare to disobey his queen's order, so he took action himself.
"I know I was wrong." Qinghe slapped herself twice and replied with her head down.
"I've noticed that you've become more and more self-indulgent recently, and you can say anything. I warned you last time, but you still didn't learn your lesson. Don't you know that the mouth can cause trouble?" Chi Yue felt quite disappointed.
"Yes, I understand. I just... I just feel that Your Majesty is wronged." Qinghe said.
"Whatever choice I make is my business, and I know my limits. Besides, I am the queen. Do you still think that I am the same as those concubines in the harem, who only think about your majesty's favor every day?" Chi Yue frowned.
"It's my fault for not being thoughtful enough, but Your Majesty should always think about yourself and not just fight for everything. If you continue like this, will those people in the harem still take Your Majesty seriously? I'm afraid it won't be long before the harem completely becomes the world of Concubine Shu." Qinghe was unwilling to accept this.
"How can a favored person completely win over the people in the harem? Concubine Shu is indeed favored, but it is precisely because she is favored that it is difficult for her to win the support of the people." Chi Yue said.
After all, the people in the harem are the most jealous. It would be fine if you were in a high position but not favored, but with the title of queen, as long as you don't make any mistakes, at least no one will offend you.
But if it was a favored concubine... that would be different. Who wouldn't want to be favored? Compared to a high-ranking person who was not favored, the favored one was the most threatening person in the eyes of others.
So...her current position and identity are just right. She is not greedy for more, she just wants to avoid more troubles, and let them handle the rest.
Moreover, some things can't be viewed only in the present, one must always look at them in the long term. Moreover, many things done now are only to pave the way for the future. Since she can reach this position, she naturally has her own calculations and considerations.
Qinghe didn't say anything more, but she was a little angry when she heard the news today. It seemed that His Majesty never cared about his own queen.
In the past, His Majesty would come here every first and fifteenth day of every month no matter how much he was persuaded. But ever since that concubine came out of the cold palace, His Majesty may not be able to spend the night here every first and fifteenth day of every month. The people outside also said harsh things, and she was afraid that her own queen would be sad.
But...
Qing He was helpless. The Queen didn't look sad at all. She didn't know how the Queen could reach this state. It seemed that everything was not scary in her eyes, and she didn't care about anything.
"Oh, right," the Queen suddenly spoke up, looking at Qing He, "Have you found the whereabouts of the assassin that Your Majesty sent people to capture last time?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that he has not been caught yet, and no one knows where he has hidden. He seems to be very familiar with the palace, and he disappeared after entering the harem."
"Your Majesty also ordered people to search every palace one by one, but they couldn't find him. It was as if he disappeared out of thin air." Qinghe also found it very strange when talking about this matter. How could such a healthy person suddenly disappear?
